...Vodka Glass. How could so skilled a chemist have allowed sweat to contaminate his equipment? The explanation is simple, says Purdue University Chemist Robert Davis, who collaborated with Rousseau and confirmed his conclusions with other analytic techniques. Every person is surrounded by an invisible cloud of organic salts that have evaporated from the skin and been expelled from the lungs; these tiny pollutants may well be absorbed by the porous glass of laboratory beakers and flasks. Thus polywater-which is made by letting steam condense inside hair-thin glass tubes-could pick up impurities even in the hands...
...impurities, but insisted that polywater continues to exhibit its strange properties after the contaminants have been removed. Deryagin and his supporters will have a hard time proving their case until more polywater exists. Currently, the total amount available from all the world's labs would hardly fill a vodka glass. Davis, for one, doubts whether anyone should sweat over the problem any longer.
